Famalicao – Alverca

Famalicão host Alverca in a tightly contested fixture that could prove pivotal for both sides in the lower half of the table. The home side sit 12th with four points after four draws and two defeats, having scored five and conceded seven, while Alverca sit just above them in 11th place on five points, their lone win balanced by two draws and three losses and a goal difference of eight for and eleven against. Both clubs will be eager to convert the string of stalemates into their first win of the campaign, knowing that a single three‑point swing could lift one out of the relegation‑watch zone. With neither team having broken their barren run yet, the encounter promises a battle for the crucial points that separate survival hopes from the drop‑zone.
